Bio:

After medical school at Duke University, residency at Wilmer Eye Institute, fellowship with David Cogan, and a stint on the Duke faculty, Lawton joined the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute in 1962 until his retirement in 1993. His tenure there included supremely detailed (“doctor-killing”) examinations and extraordinary teaching skills enhanced by his own particular lexicon. For example, to work hard was to “swing into action totalis”; excessive evaluations exemplified “a blind dog in a meat house”; new technology was “twin smitties”; and a correct answer to a question would earn you a “Now you're talkin’, doccy.”
